      Hi, was just reaching out to see how you are feeling now. I've been diagnosed with a kidney infection a few months ago and have used three courses of antibiotics over time. I did get relief however the infection seems to have come back. The left back/buttocks pain, back pain, stomach pain, lightheadedness, hot/cold feeling. It's the worst. I'm using all natural medicine between appointments until I go see my Dr. Hope I get relief soon.
